So, what was the question, if they spend over a week on the Shuttle, what

Same thing as when you go on a typical work trip down here...you have a
plastic bag full of dirty clothes stuffed in your carry-on ;-)

I suppose they have a Hoover automatic in the station? :-)

Nope. There are some possible designs being tossed around. And if it
goes in the US segment, then it would probably be Maytag/Whirlpool.

Seriously, if you are up there for months, what a huge laundry basket you
must have.

No, a big wastebasket. AIUI, some of the space in a returning Progress
is for dirty laundry, which adds a little color to the fireball.
